Being someone who's great Grandmother was full blooded Cherokee Indian I ask........... How does Someone with Scottish/Canadian descent get the job from the Cherokee Nation to show Cherokee Indian heritage ? Just asking? Also why is these heritage videos being made in Oklahoma & not coming out of Cherokee NC the original mountains and land of the original Cherokee Indian ? Cherokee NC is actually the home of the Cherokee Nation, thats where my grandmother was raised. Many Cherokee People including my grandmothers mother and father escaped the Forced Trail of Tears to Oklahoma. They Cherokee Nation remained in Cherokee NC as many escaped and hid out in mountains caves and hidden mountain & underground locations. Some even hid in whites homes or their cellars all over The Cherokee NC Mountains also Black Mountain and some hid in SC and Georgia. But after the forced migration to Oklahoma many of the Cherokee Nation reformed and continued on. So I don't know how Oklahoma can claim they're the Cherokee Nation when in fact they're not. Those are not the true indigenous Cherokee people lands because the Cherokee Nation is and always will be the Mountains of Cherokee NC. Just so people understand that Oklahoma isn't the home of The Cherokee Nation or Cherokee tribe or people. Because let's not forget the Cherokee people was forced off their lands on the trail of tears. But just because someone is forced off their lush beautiful land & relocated on desolate land not very good for much doesn't mean thats their home or their ancestors home. I'm sure my grandmother and her people would say the same thing. There's still many Cherokee People ancestors of the original tribe that was forced off their land that are still on Cherokee land in Cherokee North Carolina and close by South Carolina & Georgia. But the majority of the original hide outs and got a ways intended on the Trail of Tears are still inhabitants of the original Cherokee NC and the surrounding mountains of their ancestors.
